These seven
lotus
pedestals
at
Phra Phutta Monthon (fig.),
a Buddhist
compound and park in
Nakhon Pathom,

the first seven steps that the Buddha took immediately
after his birth (fig.).
Each one is 80
centimeters high and has a diameter of 150 centimeters.
They are placed in a circle and have a
Buddhapada
carved on the top, as well as a place name each of
regions where the Buddha once preached.
